Fremantle College

Fremantle College will create a new schooling environment to accommodate an amalgamation of Hamilton Senior High School and South Fremantle Senior High School on the SFSHS school site. It will accommodate 1200 students through years 7 to 12 and open in time for the commencement of the 2018 school year.

The new building is to be built on the grassed promenade at Lefroy Rd in front of the school and is to create a landmark new identity to the school.

On completion the school will cater for 1200 students utilising the existing and new building stock. The new building works will provide Two (2) new General Learning Communities complete with two Autism and two Educational Support classrooms to cater for the needs of both school’s student demographics. It will also include Six (6) new Science Blocks, including general science and chemistry labs, with Two (2) existing labs to be retained (total of 8 science labs for the completed school), a Performing Arts centre, a new medical centre, student services, and a new ‘follow the dream’ centre to serve the function currently existing at Hamilton SHS.

Major refurbishment works will be undertaken within several blocks of the existing school, to bring the existing amenities up to a contemporary school standard. These refurbishments will create a new visual and digital arts block, a new commercial kitchen and restaurant, new student services and senior school engagement programme, modern D+T centre with machine room, woodwork, mechatronics and composite engineering, a new cafeteria fitout, renovation and extension to the administration building and compete refurbishment of the school toilet blocks.

Additionally, each of the courtyards within the existing school blocks will be renovated and transformed to create a new visual presence and identity relative to the functions of each of the school blocks.

The project is to be constructed during occupation of the school and will require staged completion of several separable portions, progressively completed between April 2016 and November 2017.
